We’d like to send a large NMLRA congratulations to a local youth shooting sports team here in Southern Indiana. 

The Versailles American Legion Junior Shooting Sports Program is a youth air rifle program here in Ripley County. These youth marksmen practice at the NMLRA headquarters and raise money for their matches by working during the NMLRA National Championships. 

“Maggie, Richie, Joe and Tanner along with Steve and myself attended the Annual ISRPA Awards Banquet last night in Indianapolis at the Indiana War Memorial. We were notified a few weeks ago that our team won 1st. place in Sporter Class in an on line shoot. All 4 shooters with us won awards plus top team.”
